Found this long clam (and several others) in Long Creek Hood County Texas.  I can't find any pictures of this type of a clam.  It is about 4" long.

Anybody know of a name for this?

At first glance this looks like a bivalve steinkern to me (the stone core inside the clam that sometimes occurs during fossilization), but could you please post more pictures of the specimen from different angles too? A size indication would also be helpful.
